moulinrougebway: Dylan Paul’s final Swing performances are here ❤️🔥
Here’s some of what he’s seen as an Original Broadway Cast Swing 📷
“Since Boston, I’ve covered Christian, The Duke, Zidler, F9, and F10. It has been incomparably chaotic and rewarding - The Rougual. I’ve stood by until minutiae numbed my brain and been thrown into the spotlight during the production’s most violent convulsions of mid-show callouts, COVID, cut tracks, injuries, administrative fiascos, and leaves. I’ve also played The Duke as a Broadway principal - my first. Being at the mercy of an event like this fuels my admiration for our company. They are generous humans and top-notch artists, performers, creatives, associates, stage managers, and crew. I want to especially recognize and thank our offstage company and understudies - I am endlessly impressed by your versatility and pluck. I will genuinely miss rehearsals. Thank you to all the staff at the Hirschfeld for making a second home that feels safe and welcoming. Thank you to our labor unions, which make a living wage possible. Thank you to the Baz Luhrmann film that made a kid from Kansas want to do musicals, and to the creative team, company managers, producers, and screaming audiences who made another Broadway dream come true. To every former and current cast member, please know that I deeply love the work we’ve done together. What an epic ride. I look forward to the show continuing to light up Broadway for many performances to come. Here are some things I’ve seen over the years: - My final dressing room as a Swing at the Hirschfeld. - Aaron Tveit looking up from the passarelle in rehearsal. - The OBC celebrates a “final” rehearsal. Open Jar, NYC. - Danny and Sonya in rehearsal. Emerson Colonial, Boston. - Setting *Toxic* in tech. Hirschfeld, NYC. - Lift call adventures - Aaron mid-air. - Broadway opening night. Baz exiting the mezz to join us. Possibly my favorite theatre photo ever. - The now-cut duo trapeze descent. Boston. - My first dressing room as a Swing. Boston, 2018. - On as The Duke. 📷 Avery Brunkus.”
